I subscribed to XM NavTraffic even though I live in Toronto.
Reason is that I do some travelling in the States and thought that it might come in handy while going through some of the cities covered by the service.

The Traffic buttons on my D1 are greyed out so I cannot access the "Traffic Flow" etc buttons. Is this normal while in a city that doesn't have the service ? I have plotted a destination through Detroit but still the buttons are grey.

Comments ?

Did you hook up the Data Cable from the XM tuner to the D2?

Yup.

Can someone help?

Got same exact issue with my Z1, all wires are hookup, including the data cable. Still all traffic bottoms are greay out.

I re-called XM to comfirm service and it's activated.

What's going on?

Well guys, I just went back to recheck the Data Cable and found that the connector is Broken iside the UNit. I felt it lose when I pulled it out the whole Internal connector came out.

I guess my UNit was defective. I will file for a replacement and update the Post when it come back to me.
